Mick, the US has a number of ships, an aging aircraft carrier being one of them, already in the Gulf. Plus, the Us agreed some months ago to sell the huge bunker-busting bombs that will reach underground facilities to Israel along with the capability of refueling in mid-air that the Israelis also lacked. Their bombers can’t make the trip to Iran and back without this. So Israel is set to go as is the US as it has already stationed 10,000 troops in israel.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502e91686bb3f77d09000001Michael SilvaFri, 17 Aug 2012 14:46:00 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502e91686bb3f77d09000001
More from the "we just want to coexist with our neighbors, Israel, here's more great news out of Iran: Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told an annual anti-Israel protest in Tehran on Friday that the Jewish state was a "cancerous tumour" that will soon be excised, drawing a strong US rebuke.
US National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor told AFP that if Iran was as concerned about human rights as Ahmadinejad said in his speech in support of the Palestinians, then it should stop supporting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
Ahmadinejad's diatribe against Israel in his Quds (Jerusalem) Day address was the latest in a long line to have drawn criticism from Western governments.
"The Zionist regime and the Zionists are a cancerous tumour," he said.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502e8e85ecad04264b000002Jared MyersFri, 17 Aug 2012 14:33:41 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502e8e85ecad04264b000002
Israel has every right to act in their own national security self-interest, and they don't need U.N. or U.S. authorization to strike Iran. Just don't expect American boys to willingly go and potentially get killed over a war that really has nothing to do with us.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502e652969bedd2779000005Michael SilvaFri, 17 Aug 2012 11:37:13 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502e652969bedd2779000005
Breaking news! This just in... Iran not the fun loving country people make them out to be. Quote "Israel's existence is an "insult to all humanity," Iran's president said Friday in one of his sharpest attacks yet against the Jewish state, as Israel openly debates whether to attack Iran over its nuclear program.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said confronting Israel is an effort to "protect the dignity of all human beings." Can't keep blaming everything on the CIA. The British and French are more involved in these areas than we are because of their past colonization of these countries. US isn't perfect, but no one is. If you think we will be nice, they'll go away, then you've never dealt with a bully, they see it as weakness. Just my 1 cent worth.

Here it becomes complex JFK was against Nuke Proliferation and began demanding inspections of Israel facilities. When LBJ became President the Arms race really took off regionally. I would say France, US and the rest of Israel's Allies worked at first in providing nuclear power generation. From the onslaught of the Arms Race, Israel was intent on producing weapons, and I think push came to shove and the US caved in. It wasn't so much providing but the secrecy to prevail over the non-proliferation of such.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502d52216bb3f7d647000016Viola PerryThu, 16 Aug 2012 16:03:45 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502d52216bb3f7d647000016

Iran is run by psychopaths but they are practical clever, genocidal psychopaths. They know if they did that Israel would wipe them off the face of the earth. It is all grandstanding, nothing more and nothing less. We don't need to send more of our young men and women to die for other peoples' wars.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502d31dbeab8ea921b00000aanonThu, 16 Aug 2012 13:46:03 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502d31dbeab8ea921b00000a

Israel has nicely nudged U.S. into blowing 6 billion dollars a year on "aid" to Israel and half of that goes to Egypt to bribe it into not attacking Israel. Why is the most successful group in world getting aid from a bankrupt nation full of illiterates and unemployed people? This is they identity and their sole allegiance. Imagine a group that comprises 48% of U.S. billionaires, seems to always occupy the Treasury and Fed.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502d303feab8ea441900000aNo mames guey.Thu, 16 Aug 2012 13:39:11 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502d303feab8ea441900000a
Whatever. Like Obama hasn't supported the bankster leeches as they sucked America into more crushing debt with bailouts and "stimulus",which, thanks to Obama, now has produced the largest debt in world history. Obama has destroyed future generations. Yes, military spending is way out of control, but that is nothing, nothing compared to the 200 trillion in freebies--off book liabitlites-- the freeloader libtards have promised people that will turn future generations into slaves for a century.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502d2e756bb3f75c0a000001He who has the money has the power.Thu, 16 Aug 2012 13:31:33 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502d2e756bb3f75c0a000001

@NotBuddies Let them age-shit then... constitutionally they can do nothing. They cannot 'enforce the alliance' and force the US military to wade in... why? Because if Israel strikes Iran, unprovoked, then Israel's actions are illegal and a breach of so many international laws and treaties that even NATO would have trouble engaging in the conflict... especially without the US present.
It's as if Israel has spent so many years, decades in fact, ignoring every one of the UN resolutions, censures, reprimands and protestations that they've completely forgotten to even consider the legal position it places themselves and their Allies in should they 'Go'.
These psychopaths and sociopaths they have running the Israeli government right now are going to lead god only knows how many of their countrymen to their deaths.... and for what? Ego, Arrogance and some screwed up sense of entitlement they've read in some book that says 'My God's better than your God'.
Pull your head in Israel and just for once, stop and consider the consequences of your actions on every other living thing that has the right to peacefully share this planet with you as well.. we're all f**king over it and we're over you!http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502c806eeab8eafc1b000005George MavrosThu, 16 Aug 2012 01:09:02 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502c806eeab8eafc1b000005

They,re making a very bad mistake,with our country in shambles,in part because of the greed of these people,at this point they are not that important.If you check Iran,s history they have not been the aggressor in any conflict and will not be now just because they want more lights and air conditioning.This is about a few getting richer, a lot more of us dying, and for what.Ten years of war is enough,now is the to stop a conflict that could very easily escalate into a therm o-nuclear war that kills us all.Russia,China,ETC. They want more lights and air conditioning too.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502c25bbecad04f76f000035joebolinboWed, 15 Aug 2012 18:42:03 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502c25bbecad04f76f000035
What currency do you have in mind, the British pound seems to be the only viable one but I doubt it would be the one. World financial mess has made the dollar even more needed than it should be. China manupulates its currency so much that it's not ready for big time. We will be diminished( the dollar ) in the future but we will still be a currency of choice.
US, I mean Obama, may opt to let Israel get a bloody nose before he steps in.
You only start a fight when you big brother who will defend you tells you to, if not he will allow the other party to have his way before stepping in. I WILL DO THAT; andI am sure Obama will do the same.
The issue is Netanyahu has very little respect for Obama there in lies the danager for him.
He understand one basic fact that if Obama has risen to this position in the US then he can also be one you don't mess too much with especially if you have to depend on him as your protector. .http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502c035cecad048f32000007ThoughtofTheDayWed, 15 Aug 2012 16:15:24 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502c035cecad048f32000007

I wish Israel well in this Quest. Iran has been the biggest exporter of Terror in the world, and we need to cut off the snake's head to stop Hamas and Hezbollah from killing innocent people. Of Course the Anti-Semites don't like the fighting Jews, they would rather we march to our deaths. These are not people who care about Truth and Justice. Just the unabated killing of Jews and their submission to the cross and crescent.

Israhell wants us to jump right in there and start a war with Iran and Syria and they are calling up their buddies Russia and China to back them up so we've got our great big World War III and Israhell is the stupid country that initiates this with us. Get our of our lives Israhell and fight your own battles. We're sick of WAR and war mongers taking all of our money over here in the USA and we cannot police the whole world for you people who think you have us over a barrel. We will not support the Pentagon with our taxes anymore. We want Jubilee like you have over there. Every 7 years your bills are wiped clean and you get a fresh start. What we get here is more killing every day, more poisoning of our food, water, soil our bodies are being systematically killed by all the drugs that incessantly appear for upteen minutes every two or three minutes on the Boob Tube where people have given their brains over to mass media hype and propaganda. So start a war Israhell - we will not give you anything to fight with.

whoa dude...you totally misunderstood where I'm coming from. I don't want any military action and certainly don't want to spend the money it would cost for Israel to take military action. I was just saying that Obama would probably prefer to not act on Netanyahu's actions as he doesn't like the guy and would love to see him fail. But Congress has a lot of people who will stand with Israel to the end and may try to force the prez to act.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502bc3c969beddd763000001Mahboob KhanWed, 15 Aug 2012 11:44:09 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502bc3c969beddd763000001
It's clear even to an idiot like myself that Israeli war-hawks are planning to attack Iran before the November Elections because they know for sure that in such an eventuality the United States will jump in without realizing that Iran is not Afghanistan and in Afghanistan the world's only super power has been stalled by the "Mujahideens" with only AK-47 rifles while wearing turbans and sandals. Whilst Mr. Obama will be rubbing war dust on his face, Mr. Romney will then ride on the Americans' sentiments to win the elections.
If the world is going to end this year it will be because of Israel's adventurous policies. The funny thing is that no one is realizing this. The real enemies of the United States are silent to see this happen.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502bb3a0ecad04f620000013TheRexicanWed, 15 Aug 2012 10:35:12 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502bb3a0ecad04f620000013
Why hype this non-existent quarrel? The very top officials in Israel have gone on the record to say that Obama has provided the most significant support for Israel in their history.
I understand that a required premise for neo-conservative war drum beating is to demonize any democrat because they cannot be counted on to participate in the push to war under false pretenses. Why do you want to impress other readers that we should be spending untold hundreds of billion or trillions of dollars to advance such hegemonic aspirations?
There has been nothing about the current administration to indicate that they do not place US security at the highest level of importance. In fact, it was only under a neo-con president that America suffered a direct hit. This is not about security, ours or Israels.
The situation with Iran is not one that requires anxious and over zealous posturing. Allow the intelligence to be developed and act accordingly. The nuclear deterrence that kept the USSR in check is the same one that a nuclear Iran would have to respect. There are far more nefarious forces in play in an already nuclear armed Pakistan today than there are in Iran. The propaganda value of this article and most of its comments is astounding.
You guys are ready to start WWIII and have no conscience about it. This is the only reason why I am supporting Barack Obama. He has worked diligently and quietly to secure loose nukes and that has been a bigger threat than any program the feckless Ahmadinejad can carry out. You idiots are dangerous and delusional and that can be a deadly combination. I believe engagement with Iran will be Americas last war, so I am in no hurry to see you get your way.
I think it is safe to say that stories like these are a tool of manipulation for a floundering Romney (and thereby neo-conservative) campaign. Yes, Romney is the man to push the US into a war regardless of the actual intelligence. We know that by who he keeps company with.
I trust you will find that the world will not end immanently if America sits back for a few years and untangles the knots that it has tied over the last decade before embarking on another hegemonic mission to rule the world.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502ba3e6ecad04400500000cRealistMeWed, 15 Aug 2012 09:28:06 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502ba3e6ecad04400500000c
I noticed you didn't touch the subjects of false flag attacks and the fact the US considers them to be the single largest intelligence threat in the region...http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502b8e3f69bedd036100000eAllieWed, 15 Aug 2012 07:55:43 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502b8e3f69bedd036100000e
Iran won't be the first to use a nuke. America's already dropped a few. No, Iran won't be so daring as to use weaponized Nukes. I believe Iran want Nukes for their own security from Israel.
It's very upsetting when people use mainstream media outlets for sources and then voice them as fact. You have to understand that the big American media industries employ propaganda on overly disgusting levels. A lot of pro-war money is poured into your beloved sources for information. I would class you as a decent human being, just a very very close-minded one. I think you forget that American concensus on foreign affairs have a very large, long-term impact on whatever country they judge. You are not juggling around hateful theories with hope of peace, that will only bring more hate, suffering. What you guys are doing, by believing extreme propaganda, is supporting genocides. War is not a game, humans will be maimed, women, children die, and not a thought will cross your hateful little mind.
If Americans really had a reasonable judgement on the Iranian-Israeli debate, they would HAVE to learn Iranian first. You have to understand the dialogue, you can't believe in propagated mistranslations, which they WILL be.
All I'm saying is, this has nothing to do with America. I encourage every American to not get involved in another war. Your judgements of third world countries are not rational or moral. They are destructive for them, in the future-yourselves, and everybody who has to share this Earth. It's not fair to knife the throats of innocent people simply on allegations. It's actually rather fascist.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502b81466bb3f75a7900000bmy.commentWed, 15 Aug 2012 07:00:22 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502b81466bb3f75a7900000b

Well, let see if you right ?
1. It is not a secret that the funds the US are giving the other countries are used to stimulate the US economy as the money going back at the end to buy Weapons and so on. And that is totally OK for both sides.
Also Advanced Technology being developed in Israel are being used by the US, so it is a WIN-WIN situation. KIPAT BARZEL is just an example as the first real short range missiles protection system.
2. Israel is the only stable country in the region. Take a look on what is going around. Arabs country their government "love" the idea to blame everything on Israel, why solving their own problems if you just blame it on Israel.
3. For 60 years Israel is building a country from the dust without any OIL resources and with the hard work on several generations, and they don't plan to give it up to easily...

The truth is IsraHell is a criminal state. And those Zionists don't give about Americans or anyone in the world. They consider Christians Goyims at their service. They are not people of faith, no they don't follow the religion of Judaism. They believe Christians are their slaves and they are God's chosen people and so everyone should do what they tell them. They follow not the Torah but they follow the weird twisted Talmud. The banks dealing in Usuary was created by them and everyone knows it's totally forbidden in Christianity and also in Islam. IsraHell is destructive to the entire world. They don't live with people. They kill people and their the land. please google Rachel Corrie; a young brave American who was run over by a bulldozer why trying to stop it from crashing a house where a palestinian family lived. Be conscious, Learn the Truth, then you will be set free.

When Iran nuke Israel, Israels 200-400 nukes will hit every populated area on earth.

Israel is in a comfortable position. If Obama refuses to help them subdue the Iranians, the US will lose the opportunity to get their hands on the oilfields, which may cause his oil-industry campaign financiers to back off. Romney was in Israel sucking up to the National Zionists because he knows they will shower him with money if he promises that the US will attack Iran the minute he comes to power. The Na-Zis know however that Romney's chances to win are slim to none, so they want are betting on two horses.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502ae3496bb3f7175a000008patsaisonTue, 14 Aug 2012 19:46:17 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502ae3496bb3f7175a000008
Israel always leads the US by the nose, and that is the real reason for 9/11--not that 9/11 is right. US is essentially ruled by Jewish interests, and the US serves such interests, and the people who die fighting the US wars are the non-jewish, while the Jewish profit from the same. Now Israel wants to drag the US into another war to serve their interest. The non-Jewish American people should say no--no more catering to Israel.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502adb9b69bedd2e48000005blutownTue, 14 Aug 2012 19:13:31 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502adb9b69bedd2e48000005
Iran having a nuke would upset the whole ME balance of power. It's not just about Israel. The Saudi's are probably backing a preemptive strike as well.
That being said, I take the Ron Paul stance that the US should stop poking the beehive and just focus on our domestic issues. That is the only way to make America stronger and stop being the target of so much (well-deserved) hatred.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502ad91becad04ed0f000014AntiTue, 14 Aug 2012 19:02:51 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502ad91becad04ed0f000014
The Palestinians want their land back--and, it is their land. The idea that Israel is an extra home for every Jew in the world--whether from Brooklyn, Miami, LA, or Warsaw or anywhere else is impossible.
Israel is a disaster for the entire world and especially the US which has paid well over a trillion dollars above what it would have paid for oil if US oil companies had been able to continue running the Arab oil fields. Add a few trillion more for the insane wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere and-- guess what---the USA is broke.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502ad65b6bb3f73645000005DranoTue, 14 Aug 2012 18:51:07 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502ad65b6bb3f73645000005

Irrelevant comment. No one cares what some cold war relic from Poland things, much less in regard to Iran. The fact that Romney has this dubious "credibility" with Netanyahu is not something to be proud of. Netanyahu is duplicitous on a scale that only Mitt Romney can approach, and his pandering to Mitten's wax-figure mannequin super ego is just a manipulation to get him to do what he wants. If Isreal preempts the election with an attack on Iran, I hope the US sits on its hands and watches the two destroy each other.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502acaaaecad04317900001aVenomTue, 14 Aug 2012 18:01:14 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502acaaaecad04317900001a

The engineered market crash put Obama in office as the GOP did not want to preside over the downturn. The Left was getting bold and when it was obvious that Obama was going to be their man, and that a massive group of Obamites was in motion to vote for him, then it became necessary to take the market down, throw the election, and teach the hippies and the radicals a lesson.
You can see this time around that the GOP is playing to win. Last time, McCain and Palin were just too good, too far right, too offensive for the sensibilities of the Obamites and the fence sitting whiners. There was nothing wrong with McCain and Palin. They were like caricatures of the Right, and being so blatantly Right guaranteed a loss to the brilliantly planned Leftist strategy. Yes, the Left is a talented adversary.

Better that stable Israel has nuclear capability rather than the tin-pot, war-mongering, pseudo-religious, bullying dictators who rule Iran at this time. Has Israel ever been aggressive toward anyone in the area? No, they only react to aggression from their simple-minded neighbors who harbor lust for what Israel has created out of dirt and what they produce for the benefit of all of mankind. I believe Israel belonged to the Jews before any Persian or Arab did so they are in there own homeland.

I didn't say Ahmadinejad. I only said Iran would use the weapon, didn't say where, only that they would use it. Also, Israel is surronded by enemies that want it eliminated, just like they would like to see the US eliminated. To me it seems they fear democracy??? However, quoting from the same New York Times article this was stated: "In response, Mr. Meridor said that Mr. Ahmadinejad and Iran’s ruling cleric, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, had said repeatedly “that Israel is an unnatural creature, it will not survive. They didn’t say, ‘We’ll wipe it out,’ you’re right, but, ‘It will not survive.’ ”
Mr. Meridor also pointed out that Iran’s leaders have continued to deny Israel’s right to exist and used highly inflammatory terms to describe the state. After Ayatollah Khamenei compared Israel to a cancerous tumor in February — adding, it “should be cut off” — Mr. Meridor noted those remarks were echoed by the president just last month. “Israel is unnatural, it will not exist, it’s on the verge of collapse,” Mr. Meridor said. “When you hear this from these people, you need to take it seriously.” That was from April, four hours ago, this was quoted: "Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday called Iran his country's most dangerous threat, as the debate in Israel over whether to attack Iran gains strength.
Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehmhmanparast told reporters Tuesday that Iran would not relate seriously to "baseless" remarks.
On Monday, Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Michael Oren stressed in an interview to MSNBC that the Israeli clock on military action on Iran's nuclear program "is ticking faster."
Ambassador Oren said Israel appreciated Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta's reiteration that the U.S. is determined to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, but mentioned the "structural differences between the United States and Israel which we can't ignore."
"The United States is a big country with very large capabilities located far from the Middle East," Oren said. "Israel is a small country with certain capabilities located in Iran's backyard. And Israel, not the United States, is threatened almost weekly, if not daily, with annihilation by Iranian leaders.
"We've now had five months of diplomacy," Oren continued, adding that the attempts to get Iran to negotiate an end to its nuclear program "haven't worked." I just thought that was interesting. Peace.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502a9e8d6bb3f7fd5e000001laughTue, 14 Aug 2012 14:53:01 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502a9e8d6bb3f7fd5e000001
Woops, the quote is attributed to a reporter from Al Jazeera. Meridor did say "They didn’t say, ‘We’ll wipe it out,’ you’re right ..."
Anyways, you have to look at the direct Farsi translation of Ahmadinejad's comments.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502a9dbc6bb3f79d5a000002Da TruthTue, 14 Aug 2012 14:49:32 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502a9dbc6bb3f79d5a000002
Lech Walesa endorsed Romney? So he was endorsed by a socialist labor leader? Huh how 'bout that.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502a9cc169bedd842d000002laughTue, 14 Aug 2012 14:45:21 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502a9cc169bedd842d000002
What a joke.
Dan Meridor, Israel’s minister of intelligence and atomic energy:
“This idea that Iran wants to wipe Israel out,” Mr. Nabili said, “now that’s a common trope that is put about by a lot of people in Israel, a lot of people in the United States, but as we know Ahmadinejad didn’t say that he plans to exterminate Israel, nor did he say that Iran’s policy is to exterminate Israel.”

First time since 1967 Israel will have to look over their shoulder??? That has to be one of the nuttiest comments ever by an "ex-cia analyst". I guess all those car bombs, rockets, and being surrounded by countries that have stated they want Israel eliminated off the face of the earth were just practical jokes? Iran is a country that WOULD use a nuclear weapon.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502a99bf69bedd2f27000002tsikseeTue, 14 Aug 2012 14:32:31 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502a99bf69bedd2f27000002
When Israel began exporting complex weapons and radar systems to China and others, that would if ever used, would be against US aircraft. We should have cut off all aid. After Iraq.... Israel should be on it's own.They sold us into that war and created the desire to attack America after Reagan and the US assisted and aided Israel's invasion of Lebanon. If we wanted friendship with Iran as well as most country's in the Middle East, perhaps we shouldn't have supported the despots financially and militarily for all these years. From the Shah to Saddam and the US should NEVER have given Israel Nukes! We destabilised the whole region and created the terrorism we fear so.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502a991d6bb3f7ee53000001MickTue, 14 Aug 2012 14:29:49 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502a991d6bb3f7ee53000001
This is all politics people. The only thing Obama and Netanyahu argue over is who's taking the blame. The US doesn't have a massive build up of forces on Iran's doorstep because they don't want to attack, common sense is all you need to figure that out.
Obama just needs to be viewed as being forced to help so his election chances aren't hampered. Nobody would believe Netanyahu could force him after the election so this is the "perfect window," but not for the reasons we're told, as usual.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502a99056bb3f7b54f000014CheetohFingersTue, 14 Aug 2012 14:29:25 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502a99056bb3f7b54f000014
The GOP is hawkish on Iran. If Obama acts, he gives them no leverage.
No doubt that will piss off liberals, but if they don't back him in the election, they give it to the GOP by default. I don't believe they'd do that and throw away Obamacare.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502a955f69bedde21700000dyibberatTue, 14 Aug 2012 14:13:51 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502a955f69bedde21700000d
This is akin to the pipeline nonsense. Being the reserve currency issuer has costs as well as benefits (the gutting of our manufacturing/export sector is one). And no other country on the planet is going to incur those costs to be the reserve currency. And while Iran may prefer to get paid for their oil in gold/virgins/whiskey; the reality is that their customers are going to decide what they are going to exchange for Iran's oil - and if Iran doesn't like it, they won't be selling oil - which means the Iranian government will lose its primary revenue stream.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502a93edeab8eaa95e000001cabaretvoltaireTue, 14 Aug 2012 14:07:41 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502a93edeab8eaa95e000001
Israel and their Media put Obama in office. To say that one does not back the other is preposterous. And I believe the whole Iran threat could be made up for political purposes.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502a900cecad04bc0c000006We have saved Israel from annihilation Tue, 14 Aug 2012 13:51:08 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502a900cecad04bc0c000006

Obama and Netanyahu do not get along, and don't really like each other. I suspect Obama would want to avoid supporting any Israeli attack, but then Congress with its many pro-Israel hawks would go ape-shit for us not backing our ally in the region. It would be awful if Israel strikes, Obama does nothing, and then Congress declares war to enforce the alliance. Then what about the rest of NATO and how they will respond? Sounds like we're up shit-creek one way or another.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502a8c36eab8ea8748000001MSLTue, 14 Aug 2012 13:34:46 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502a8c36eab8ea8748000001
Here's another view of why people keep predicting war with Iran.

I think you underestimate how much he cares about getting re-elected, and there are enough people in the media and the US population that for some reason that is beyond me seem to care about Israel more then the US.
I for one would tell Israel that they deal with the consequences of their actions ALONE.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502a8abfeab8eab74400000cThoughtofTheDayTue, 14 Aug 2012 13:28:31 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502a8abfeab8eab74400000c
Obama has no credibility in Israel. On Romney's trip there they all but indorsed him. Something BI ignored and focused on the "gaffes". Same with Poland. Lech Wałęsa did endorse him outright. I expect they will do what they want with little regard to the current administration. There is nothing they can say at this point that will hold water.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502a8a98ecad04f47f000005RealistMeTue, 14 Aug 2012 13:27:52 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502a8a98ecad04f47f000005
And I'm sure the fact that Iran is dropping the dollar has nothing to do with any of the recent beating of the war drums. The US will have to do what it can to force the use of its currency to prevent the adoption of a new reserve currency.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502a86d369bedd436f000014RBWTue, 14 Aug 2012 13:11:47 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/502a86d369bedd436f000014
They're making a bad bet. Obama doesn't care about Israel, so he'd never get sucked into a war on their behalf.
